Mr. Charles Barkley, “You Were Deliberately Denied the Opportunity to Learn Your History”!http://timtpost.com/2014/12/30/mr-charles-barkley-you-were-deliberately-denied-the-opportunity-to-learn-your-history/

The birth of RACISM that hasn’t had a cure since SLAVERY began.

“I don’t think anytime anything bad that happens in the black community we have to talk about slavery,” Barkley said. “Listen, slavery is, uh, well, I shouldn’t say one of the worst things ever, because I don’t know anything about it other than what I read or what my grandmother told me.”

This ignorance at first was irritating, infuriating and disappointing to say the least. However, one has to understand and learn his history before speaking out on such issue and I bet Barkley is just one of many people of color who have been deliberately denied the opportunity to learn their history and by default designed to think the way he does. I am certain a lot of us don’t know the history of how Africans were captured, sold, shackled, raped and tortured. There is no historical accounting of how many millions of Africans that have died during the years of the Middle Passage, how Africans built the infrastructure of America without a pay to enrich their savage masters, how Africans belief and social systems were striped out of their core values, and etc.. Those interested in the real history of slavery, unlike the Charles Barkley’s and most Americans, had to seek it out in bits and pieces like peeling layers of onion from different sources.

When Alabama Sen. Hank Sanders, D-Selma, wrote an open letter to Charles Barkley, it was a reminder to all of us that the untold real history of the black experience has been and still is deliberately denied from being thought to us. Sen. Sanders addresses it in a his open letter providing some insight as to the evolution of Slavery and its impact in today’s world that still hunts the African American communities as it should be told. It was not pretty then and nor is modern day enslavement pretty today.

The letter was posted to Sen. Sander’s Facebook page…

Dear Mr. Barkley:

I write you out of love. I write you out of profound pain. I write you out of deep concern. I hope you accept this letter in the spirit that I write.

Mr. Barkley, I understand that you said, in so many words, that slavery was not so bad and that you were tired of people bringing up slavery. I was shocked by both statements. Then I was mad. Then I was terribly disappointed. Finally, I was just in deep hurt and great pain. Now, I am trying to help you and all those who may think like you.

Mr. Barkley, allow me to tell you why slavery was “not so bad,” but very, very bad. First, African people were snatched from their families, their villages, their communities, their tribes, their continent, their freedom. African people were made to walk hundreds of miles in chains. They were often beaten, poorly fed and abused in many ways. Women and girls were routinely raped. The whole continent was ravaged and still suffers to this day. Mr. Barkley, this is very, very bad.

Second, African people were placed in “slave dungeons” for weeks and sometimes months until the slave ships came. They were often underfed, terribly beaten, raped and stuffed together so tightly they could hardly move. African people were packed in the holds of ships with little space to even move. They performed bodily functions where they lay and then lived in it. They were oftentimes beaten, raped and abused mentally, physically and emotionally. Many died from disease and broken spirits. Some were so terribly impacted that they jumped overboard and drowned when brought to the deck of the ships. Millions died during the Middle Passage from Africa to the Americas. Mr. Barkley, this is very, very bad.

Third, African people were broken like wild animals. They were stripped of every element of their identity. Their names were taken. Their languages were taken. Their religions were taken. Their histories were taken. They were forbidden to have family. They had no rights to own anything. They were considered property. Their personalities were permanently altered. Their freedom was taken. They became chattel sold from “slave blocks.” This crushing of identity impacts us to this day. I call it the psychology of the oppressed. Mr. Barkley, this is very, very bad.

Fourth, African Americans were worked from “kin to can’t;” that is from “can see” in the morning to “can’t see” at night. There was no pay for their long, hard labor. Many were poorly fed. Most felt the lash of the whip. All felt the lash of the tongue. Many were repeatedly raped. Their children and other loved ones were sold at will. Some mothers killed their baby girls so they would not have to endure the ravages of slavery. Mr. Barkley, this is very, very bad.

Fifth, African Americans had no right to defend themselves no matter what was done and how wrong it was. By law, they could not even testify against their abusers. As U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Toney said in the 1857 Dred Scott case, “A Black man has no rights a White man is bound to respect.” This became the law of the land and its legacy bedevils us to this day. Mr. Barkley, this is very, very bad.

Sixth, African Americans were perceived and treated as sub human. The only way enslavers could square this terrible treatment with their Christian beliefs was see us as less than human. Therefore, they could proudly place such beautiful words in the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution with impunity: i.e. – “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” To them, African Americans were not human so these beautiful words did not apply. Even the U.S. Constitution designated us as 3/5 of a person. That’s why White terrorists, in and out of uniforms, can kill us without punishment. The legacy of being less human lingers with us today. Black lives are worth much less than White lives. Mr. Barkley, this is very, very bad.

Seventh, it required great violence to implement and maintain the worse form of human slavery known to humankind. It required unbridled violence by enslavers, slave catchers, local, state, federal governments and the entire society. Maintaining the institution of slavery created a very violent society that infests us to this day. That’s why the United States has far more violence than any country in the world. Mr. Barkley, this is very, very bad.

Eighth, even after slavery formerly ended, we still had Jim Crow. These same imbedded attitudes generated state-sanctioned terrorism for nearly another 100 years. The Ku Klux Klan and other terrorist groups hanged, mutilated, maimed and murdered without any punishment. It was state sanctioned terrorism because the “state” did not do anything to prevent it. That’s why even during the Civil Rights Movement murders took many years before even a modicum of justice was forged. Just look at the deaths of Medgar Evers, James Chaney, the three little girls murdered by the bombing of a Birmingham Church and so many others. That is why today Trayvon Martin could not walk the streets of his neighborhood and Jordan Davis could not play loud music in his car and Eric Garner was choked to death and Michael Brown was gunned down. Mr. Barkley this is very, very bad.

Mr. Barkley, if you knew your history, you would not say slavery is not so bad and you are tired of people bringing up slavery. The legacy of slavery is everywhere. However, you are not totally to blame because you were deliberately denied the opportunity to learn your history. That is one more legacy of slavery. I hope you will seek the full history for yourself so that you will not ever say such things again.

A lot of people have asked about where I have been hiding and why I was not writing anymore. So I decided to write this essay just to let you know why.

I left blogging right after the 2012 Presidential election because being an on-line warrior informing the public about why President Obama is the right man for the job for the Presidency was taking a lot of my time away from spending important time with my kids and in the process I was depriving my kids a lot of valuable lesson they deserve to learn from my experiences. While indirectly I was fighting for their future, I wasn’t able to balance my fatherhood duties between a full time day job and essentially a full time blogging job for free. I had to take a break from blogging right after the 2012 election to re-prioritize my life.

I hope you have been well the last couple of years. While I may not be writing frequently, I am planning to make time to write a bit more in the new year and hope to engage with you. I wanted to say in advance that I really truly appreciate all of your feedback and contributions.

Thank You and Happy New Year.

Lawrence Wilkerson had some strong word for the Republican Party after that comment made by Mitt Romney’s die hard supporter, John Sununu, who referred the endorsement of President Obama by Colin Powell’s as nothing but a black thing dismissing the impact of the endorsement showing of course the usual race pandering in the open which often is spewed by many Republicans these days.

During the Ed Schultz show on Friday, Ed asked Col. Wilkerson was asked what he thought of Mr. Sununu’s comment and this was what a decorated Republican Col. Wilkerson had to say in a grand scheme of things:

My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people, not all of them, but most of them, who are still basing their positions on race. Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that’s despicable.

“In youth known as DREAMers, I see the same qualities that Michelle and I try to instill in our daughters. Respect their parents. Studied to overcome. And they want to contribute to the only country they know and love. As a parent, I am inspired. And as President bravery have reminded me that no obstacle is too big. No long way. “

Mitt Romney obviously don’t get it but he will get it on November 6. Don’t Boo, VOTE!

http://timtpost.com/2012/10/14/the-reasons-why-joe-biden-won-the-debate/#commentsSun, 14 Oct 2012 20:18:25 +0000http://timtpost.com/?p=1357Continue reading →]]>Joe Biden came out swinging, fact checking Paul Ryan on the spot, not letting him go unchecked with the same lines of lies and misrepresentation that was evidenced during the last Presidential debate by his boss, Mitt Romney. The performance of Vice President Joe Biden was aggressive, rightly dismissive and very persistent that he looked and spoke like he had this fierce urgency of putting the Romney/Ryan campaign into shreds and I must say he certainly has out performed above and beyond what critics thought would be soft exchange.

Joe Biden clearly won the debate simply because he was sincere, had passion and conviction, he knew and lived most of what he was talking about and more than anything he was not artificial and aloof like his debating “friend” from the other side was. The contrast couldn’t be any clearer on issue after issue as Joe Biden showed the difference between the look back and stay in the ditch plan of Romney/Ryan and the moving forward plan of the President.

Biden didn’t waste one minute going after Romney’s record from the get go. He started with dismantling the bogus assertion that Romney cares about 100% of America as he hammered Romney’s denigration that American people would never “take personal responsibility” exposing the behind close door billionaire and millionaire private meeting where Romney said, he doesn’t worry about the 47% Americans” showing that the Romney/Ryan ticket is disconnected and don’t understand the middle class.

On Medicare, Biden clearly made Paul Ryan drink, drink and drink more water as he hammered the fact that the Romney plan is a plan to privatized medicare pointing out Ryan himself has called it a voucher program that will put seniors in the hole as per the analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that found the out-of-pocket costs to seniors would be $6,350 more than the traditional medicare as the Romney/Ryan plan favor premium support that will turn Medicare from a defined benefit into a defined contribution program.

Of course, Ryan tried to put fear in the minds of seniors claiming under the President’s plan, $716 billion is cut from medicare benefit –a claim that fact-checking watchdogs and others have called misleading. However, Vice President Biden was right there to debunk the lies in a very forceful manner talking to the camera asking seniors how their medicare plan has worked for them or if they have been denied any benefits and to judge for themselves while indirectly telling the American people the guy next to him is lying to them reminding them that the $716 billion cut will only effect Hospital reimbursement rates for hospitals and private health insurance companies by cutting the huge profit hospitals and insurance companies are making off of Medicare and that no benefit or service is cut from their plan. Biden also mentioned that seniors to check with one of the largest non-profit senior’s healthcare advocate, AARP, and what members of the AARP have to say on the matter in addition to looking at their existing plan and how ObamaCare has reduced their out of pocket expenses.

On taxes, Joe Biden kept on fact checking Paul Ryan on the spot nailing him for how Romney’s plan does not make mathematical sense cutting taxes across the board 20% for a total of $5 trillion and try to pay for it by cutting deductions. When Paul Ryan was asked to provide explanation for what deductions they would cut to make up this made for the rich $5 trillion in tax cuts to only give a phony explanation of — oh well, we will have to work with congress to reach to that principle was all he has to say. However, Biden was right there explaining and hammering their true plan and how cutting deductions on the middle class would force tax increases on 95 percent of the population, while those making more than $200,000 would see a net tax cut.

On foreign policy, specifically on Iran, Paul Ryan implied that the Obama Administration opposed imposing sanctions on Iran accusing Biden and Obama of ignoring Netanyahu in the process giving Iran the time to building a nuclear weapon while even the Israelis with so much stake have acknowledged and praised what President Obama is doing is more than anyone in the past regarding their security. Low and behold, Joe Biden was on point dismissing Ryan’s assertion as “a bunch of stuff”. He went on explaining to Ryan about the sanction and its effectiveness like a parent teaches their children on how to add one plus one pointing a laundry list of the effects of the sanction like how Iran’s currency is in the downfall and how their economy is suffering, and to claim that the Iran policy is “unraveling before our eyes” as Ryan suggested was being dishonest and just a “bunch of stuff”. Biden called him out on it saying, “these are the most crippling sanctions in the history of sanctions, period”. The funny part of all this is when asked if a military attack on Iran would be effective, Ryan didn’t answer while it’s clear that attack on Iran would give Iran reason to justify to its people why they need a nuclear program. When asked what Romney/Ryan would do differently, Ryan pretty much said, we would do what the Obama administration has been doing. Go figure!

On Afghanistan, since the beginning of the campaign, the Romney/Ryan campaign has criticized the administration’s foreign policy including Afghanistan policy that will withdraw troops by 2014 while offering no specifics alternatives and at the debate there was nothing new from Paul Ryan except criticize the administration’s policy while saying “we don’t want to stay” in Afghanistan only to endorse the President’s Afghanistan timeline to withdraw by 2014.

On Syria, the non-stop criticism and hypocrisy to politicize every foreign event was very obvious not to mention the preemptive criticism on Libya that was disgraceful and an embarrassment to Mitt Romney. Doubling down during the debate, Paul Ryan said, “What we are witnessing, as we turn on our television screens [FOX News Network — can’t help laughing] these days, is the absolute unraveling of the Obama foreign policy.” When asked what the Romney/Ryan ticket will do different about Syria, Ryan actually said, “we agree with the same red line [as the Obama Administration does] on chemical weapons, but not putting American troops in, other than to secure those chemical weapons. They’re right about that”. So, what is that Ryan witnessing or what is unraveling that is so bad that the Romney/Ryan camp does not have any new ideas about how they will do things differently than the President if they agree with all of what the Obama Administration is doing? The hypocrisy was very obvious when Biden continue to press Ryan for new policy or ideas the Romney team has to ensure that President Obama will not blow it when it comes to U.S. national security. Of course, no new ideas from Romney/Ryan camp.

On Abortions, while Biden made it clear that his religious beliefs about when life began should not be something that has to be forced onto others who did not share the same religious beliefs he has, Paul Ryan made it clear that because of his religious beliefs his ticket will work to prevent women from having the right to choose to have an abortion if a woman wanted one. Paul Ryan also continued lying about abortion funding accusing Democrats of supporting abortion “without restriction and with taxpayer funding” which has not been the case for three decade since 1977 as per the Hyde Amendment that restricts federal funding for abortion. What Joe Biden did here was that he believe in separation of Churches and State is something fundamental that we can’t impose religious views on other. A message that is accepted widely as a winner.

On the Stimulus, Paul Ryan was shameless calling it a failed policy as if he was not advocating for it during the Bush administration in 2002 arguing that spending creates jobs. Not only was the Stimulus a key to reviving the economy that was in the tank but according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), it has helped create as many as 3.3 million jobs to the economy. However, Joe Biden was right there slapping Ryan like a school boy with his hand on a cookie jar exposing the truth about the letters Ryan had sent to the Vice President’s office requesting for stimulus funds for his district. If it was such a failure, then why ask?

On the Auto Bailout, Joe Biden was proud and passionate about the accomplishment of the Administration on the revival of the Auto industry that saved over a million jobs and growing today while slamming Romney’s “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” op-ed, to only hear from Paul Ryan the usual dishonest misinformation of denial claiming “Mitt Romney’s a car guy” and “they keep misquoting him” as if the America people are blind to see the evidence where Romney had doubled down confirming his position that he would let Detroit go Bankrupt.

Overall, it was a night that Joe Biden should be happy about and where Democrats should be proud of. One thing for sure is that according to an instant poll taken by CBS News, uncommitted voters saw Vice President Joe Biden as the winner over Paul Ryan in the Vice Presidential debate. More voters by 85 to 75 percent margin thought Biden was knowledgeable about the issues and by a 56 to 48 percent margin thought Biden would be an effective President. Joe Biden was indeed smirking, snorting and laughing at Paul Ryan because that stuff coming out of Ryan was indeed a joke and we should all laugh at a bunch of “malarkey” that can not be taken seriously.

However, it does not mean we have to seat back and let the lies by the most pathological liar go unchecked. Below is a video that pretty much shows a rebuttal of Mitt Romney’s lies at the Wednesday debate by Mitt Romney. Quite a sight to show during the next debate by a moderator but don’t count on it.

I have to share it to as many people as possible to get the message out to those who are still on the fence about who they will be voting for on election day. Please share it to your contacts in every social media possible.

And then, here we have where the Republican leadership and institution have said so many things that pretty much confirms the real Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney is not worthy of being a President and voters must know the kind of pathological “liar” he is as Newt Gingrich notes it in the video below. The argument that must be made is when you have a person with so many character flaws and dishonest behavior, how could anyone trust him as a commander-in-chief. What will he be lying about next?

Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, reported in an email communication to supporters that the total number of donations effort “surpassed 10 million donations so far in 2012″, with 567,044 were first time donors in September, contributing an average donation of $53. In total, about 98% of the donations were under $250. This is a huge success story for the Obama Administration.

However, if you think this money is enough to battle what Romney’s super PACs have stored in the next few weeks, let me remind you about the money that Romney surrogates have already spent. Since this presidential campaign began, independent groups/Super PACs have spent as of October 6, 2012, at least $309 million on television advertisements. A breakdown of who these PACs are can be found here. About 82% ($255 Million) of this money was raised by Republican PACs and has been spent attacking President Obama 100%. If you ask where this money is coming from, it certainly is not from the 10 million middle class American. The Romney campaign has been financed by corporations and those at the top 1% of America and they have been battering President Obama with so many misinformation and lies in favor of their candidate, Mitt Romney.

When I heard someone say that it would be a big mistake to write off Mitt Romney, I chuckle silently with amusement about how in the world anyone would think Mitt Romney can win this election with so many of his flip flop positions and lies. In fact, I am silently planning my election watch party at my house where I plan to invite a lot of friends and passionate supporters who have worked hard to celebrate four more years of President Obama just like I did in Nov 2008.

…and then, I started asking can this flawed candidate becomes President lying through one of the most scrutinized election in the world, If he does win, I must say he sure is the most talented con-artist ever. Here is the thing though, we haven’t cast one vote yet but we have seen bazillions of obituaries from many pundits where they have pretty much characterized this election as already been decided for President Obama in the moment of many disastrous moves by Romney’s utterly failed campaign until just the last debate where he lied through it all to appear he has substance. Low and behold, the American people who are not engaged bought that dishonest performance.

The truth is I never bought into the notion that this election is over when more than half of the country is not informed about candidate’s political positions. I don’t think it would be off the mark to say that the same pundits who had been dumping on Mitt Romney will not hesitate dumping on the President if they are given an opening since of course their memory as usual does tricks on them.

The point is the next 29 days are the most important campaign days where as grassroots supporters we have to press hard to get out the votes, make calls, contribute and do what we can because the stakes are too high and too important for our generation and the next to get caught sleeping. Liars will get busted one way or another but I don’t want to wait seating around for someone else to bust them crack open. It is our responsibility to do our part. Don’t mind the debate because I thought in the 2004 election John Kerry had the 2004 election in the bag after the first debate that made George Bush look like delusional. One friend put it well when she said,

Only a rich white guy can get on a stage and rattle off a lie per minute and be declared a winner. Sickening and disturbing. I will say that President Obama missed some opportunities — no doubt about that, but O’s missed opps does not make sociopath Romney a “winner” by any stretch of the imagination.

The lying game has been going on full force for quite some time and if we are going to win this election, we have to go to work hard in the next 29 days by speaking the truth against those who want to buy their way into the Whitehouse. Let’s go to work.

Obama/Biden 2012!

Isn’t it fascinating how quickly these supposed “allies” turn the minute that the women or people of color don’t do it their way?? Even if their way is wrong??? ~ Nancy Heitzeg

I feel a conviction to share this article because it speaks volume about the mind set of some White Man even from the left who feel they know everything as if they have this supernatural power to tell other what is right or wrong. Let’s face it, President Obama’s performance was not his “A” game last Wednesday. Does that give people like Chris Matthew, Ed Schultz, etc., the right to ridicule our President as if he hasn’t been prosecuted by racists teabagging Republican party the last four years? I find the behavior of those on the left who can’t see their flaws fascinating indeed as Nancy notes but most importantly these are the kinds of people who will sink the Democratic Party be it out of ignorance or entitlement of White Privilege. We all have a responsibility to stop this premature ejaculation so let’s step up and tell these people to chill the fuck out.
